Recusal: Chair Balch recused himself and left the Chamber. Eric Luchini presented the Agenda Report. Vice Chair Nagler asked staff to report out on the questions posed by the Commission prior to the meeting. Mr. Luchini presented the Memo dated October 11, 2017. Commissioner Allen asked with regard to the CalTrans work mitigation if the additional on-ramp will be required prior to occupancy of Costco. Mr. Luchini confirmed this is correct, per Council direction all traffic mitigation improvements need to be in place prior to the opening of Costco. Vice Chair Nagler asked staff to clarify that the traffic impact cannot be fully mitigated because no one controls Caltrans. If the City can guarantee the improvements will be done, the impact in fact be effectively mitigated. Mr. Luchini confirmed. Commissioner Brown said given Council direction to staff that hotels could open before traffic mitigation is completed for Costco he asked what the 44 second queue length will be in the short term. City Traffic Engineer Mike Tassano said hotels generate one-tenth of the P.M. traffic as Costco. He said, one of the more critical movements would be the left turn. When using the left turn going towards Costco coming off of Stoneridge Drive, it is about 10 trips per cycle. This would extend it out of the pocket and therefore the left turn lane is needed. Mr. Tassano explained, the hotel adds 1-2 vehicles and the City can fit those in the existing left turn pocket. For the right turn, it will add a couple more vehicles to the already very long queue of vehicles. In the P.M. peak, almost everybody is in the right lane and drivers can bypass this traffic by staying in the middle lane. Commissioner Brown confirmed with Mr. Luchini that because the traffic impact fee details are not yet worked out, it is not factored into the 20 1/2 year payback period.
